I am entering my third week into the diet this Monday. I’ve lost 7.5 lbs so far. On Tuesday we will start South Beach Phase-I with JBQ that will last 2 weeks (it is similar to Atkins’ Diet Phase-I, except that you don’t eat too fatty meats and you have freedom over more vegetables). Overall, South Beach is “Atkins version 2″, a more healthy approach at it.
However, yesterday I found Hostess, a brand new low-calorie chocolate mini-cake pack, that only has 100 calories in it, and despite a first visual impression of “cakes are bad for you”, they are actually more healthy than the SouthBeach-branded Kraft power bars! The Hostess-100 have way more calcium and fiber than the power bars, and they weigh 9 grams more (when you are on a diet, even 9 grams of more food matters)!
Problem was, when I ate one of these chocolate mini-cakes, I wanted more. I am obviously addicted to chocolate, because I am 2 weeks on a diet and haven’t craved for anything so far! And then, the chocolate hell came — just by tasting a bit of it in these mini-cakes. All this made me remember the Kinder chocolate and especially my favorite Greek chocolate, the classic version of Lacta. I found Lacta’s web site and it brought me back memories from when I was a kid. Sniff…
Bad chocolate! Bad!
